Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump suggested Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was a "phony" because she did not face an attempted assassination before her party's convention — unlike Republican nominee Donald Trump. During the first night of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, Lara Trump spoke to Fox News after Harris briefly addressed her party's delegates. "We have to tell the American people exactly who Kamala Harris is, and look, she just came out on stage there in front of the nation at the DNC , her first appearance, and told you absolutely nothing," the Republican co-chair opined.
"What I think people have at least learned thus far, if they don't know yet Kamala Harris's radical positions, Tim Walz's radical positions, they know that this party and these candidates, Sean, are very phony." "Look at Donald Trump," she continued. "Two days before our convention, he's shot in the head.
He shows up at our convention. He's there every single day. He's there for all the major speeches.
" Lara Trump praised her father-in-law, Donald Trump, for his "transparency." "On the other side of things, you have a completely phony party and completely phony candidates in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ," she said. "If you put this person in the White House alongside her running mate, it will be like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on steroids.

Watch the video below from Fox News. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered an address on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, giving a full-throated endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris .
"There is always a choice," said Clinton. "Do we push forward or pull back? Come together as “We The People” or split into us versus them? That’s the choice we face in this election." Clinton, who was the first woman to be nominated by the Democratic Party for president, ran a bruising campaign in 2016 that ended with a narrow Electoral College loss to former President Donald Trump .
" Kamala has the character , experience, and vision to lead us forward," said Clinton. "I know her heart and her integrity. We both got our start as young lawyers helping children who were abused or neglected.
That kind of work changes you. Those kids stay with you. Kamala carries with her the hopes of every child she protected, every family she helped, every community she served.
" Clinton proceeded to contrast Harris' record with that of Trump. ALSO READ: Donald Trump deep in debt while foreign money keeps coming: disclosure "The Constitution says the president’s job is to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Those are the words of our founders.
‘Take care,’" Clinton continued. "Just look at the candidates. Kamala cares about kids, families, and America.
Donald only cares about himself. "On her first day in court, Kamala said five words that still guide her: ‘Kamala Harris, for the people."That is something Donald Trump will never understand.
" Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to take aim squarely at former President Donald Trump's running mate, fellow Ohioan J.D.
Vance , over her claims that he abandoned his community and used it as a political prop. "I'm Joyce Beatty and I'm proud to represent Ohio," she said. "I was born in the Buckeye State and I never left.
" In contrast, she said, Vance "likes to talk" about his upbringing as a Middle American, but "as soon as he could, he ran away to Yale and Silicon Valley, cozying up with billionaires while trashing our community." "What has he done for hardworking Americans? Nothing," she said. "He's been busy writing the foreword to the book from the Project 2025 guy .
" Beatty then went on to draw contrasts between the two presidential tickets. "While J.D.
and Donald Trump have been sharing conspiracy theories from the darkest corners of our internet, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have been busy expanding access to the internet.," said Beatty.
